My brother owes me $6000.00. After he borrowed the money he refused my calls and hid from me and other family members. I have proof that I helped him pay off his credit cards, but he has refused to pay me back. Now, 8 years later, he has come out from hiding, and says that the statute of limitations has expired.
Have I lost my chance to collect because he intentionally disappeared long enough for the statute of limitations to expire? Does the law really protect a person who hides from their responsibility --- even when it is family?
